Archive for the ‘WD-40’ Category

I recently received a forwarded e-mail on the purported many uses of WD-40. As it turns out, this little wonder-in-a-can can be used to remedy lots of little things around the house. The list below is what was contained in the e-mail I received; I simply re-organized the information to read more logically. I have not researched whether the claims below hold true, so if you have any experience in using WD-40 for alternative purposes, leave a comment to let us know!
